Concerts give parents and friends an opportunity to enjoy the final product

of the Chorus’ hard work. Concerts are also counted as a grade.

Please attend ALL of your student’s concerts!

Just as Chorus members are expected to practice appropriate behavior when attending concerts and festivals,
we ask that family members and friends extend the same courtesy to the A.G. Cox Chorus and other groups when
enjoying our performances.

Remember, this is a listening experience and not a sporting event or pop concert ☺

Below are some suggestions for making our performances enjoyable for EVERYONE.

♪   Arrive 5 or 10 minutes before the concert start time.

♪   Turn off all cell phones, pagers, and watches that would beep, blink or otherwise cause an interruption.

♪   Enter and exit only when there is applause. (Wait until there is a break in the music selections.)
      Never walk in during the middle of a selection. The doors slam, the lighting changes and it distracts the performers.

♪   LISTEN - Do not speak (or sing along) during the music. 

♪   Keep younger students quiet, and remove them from the concert if necessary.
      Consider sitting on the outside of an aisle.

♪   Show your appreciation through applause only. (Shouting and stomping is for sports!)

♪   Stay for the entire performance. Do not leave early.

♪   No flash photography during a performance.

♪   Parents and Guardians please remind your students who are performing that you can spot them in a crowd,
      and that they do not need to wave at you from the risers for you to see them or feel acknowledged!
      A smile and a nod is the correct way for the performers to recognize and greet friends and family sitting in the audience.
